Bra
Aubade: Soleil D’Automne Bra
I just found a great bargain I want to share with you girls. While surfing on barenecessities.com I found this extremely sexy Soleil D’Automne Bra by Aubade on sale for only $44.99. If you take into account that this high quality and high-end bra usually ships at prices well over $80, you realise this piece with supportive decorated cups with gorgeous autumn-style embroidery is a real bargain at this price. Aubade is top quality, and if you can get your hands on this kind of quality at such a discount, I suggest you don’t hesitate.
The Aubade Soleil D’Automne Boyshort to match is on sale as well at barenecessities.com, and it’s a lot more sexy than the name would make believe. The feminine backside is lovely, and for $39.99 it completes this Soleil D’Automne set from Aubade for only $85, which is almost half the usual retail price. A bargain? Oh yes!
Mimi Holliday: girly quality lingerie
Mimi Holliday is a very interesting Damaris Evans brand that introduces itself on its website like this:
“In Winter 2003, after much heated bidding from huge High Street names, such as Marks and Spencers, Debenhams, New Look, Miss Selfridge, Top Shop, Damaris launched the long-awaited diffusion line, Mimi Holliday, and chose to work with House of Fraser. The fabulous designs priced between £25 and £35 are beautifully wrapped in baby pink boxes for each customer and sold in 25 stores throughout the UK.”
The good thing is, due to online shopping, these pieces are not just available in the 25 UK stores, but can be shipped throughout the world. Because of the girly image this brand has (the pictures will show you why ;)), it’s very popular amongst young women, and I personally have quite a few friends who are very into Mimi Holliday lingerie.
The set I’d like to show you girls today is a very affordable set available at my favorite online store figleaves. This Little Dots set, available for just $90 for both the Little Dots padded balcony bra and the Little Dots brief. The padded balcony bra from Mimi Holliday has very supportive underwire cups with soft, silk chiffon finishing and a polka dot print. The straps have a satin finish and the pretty ribbons make the bra look very playful and teen-ish. The same sexy girlish ribbon detail can be found on the front of the briefs too.
The quality is right, as to be expected from a Damaris brand, and the looks are spot on if you’re looking for young and girly lingerie. We like!
Charnos Lingerie: why Charnos is so great!
I’m trying to convince all my girlfriends to try Charnos lingerie, and all of them who actually gave the brand a go are now enthousiastic Charnos-fans, just like me. Why? I’ll try to make that clear with this post, and I’ll make sure to include enough photo’s to make sure you’re drooling when you’re finished reading this entry….
First of all, here’s a link to their official website, it’s packed with photo’s and information, and is my main source of info for this post as well… It’s one of the most browsable brand-websites I’ve seen, so head over there if you’re interested…. They recommand figleaves as an online shop, so I’ll be showing you some stuff they sell over there too…
First off is this amazingly sexy Cherub line. Classy, sober, but extremely feminine and sexy in a mature way. If you’re looking to stun with class, Charnos shows you how with this one. Prices are affordable in the range of $26 (thong) up to $50 (bras and garter belt). A very high amount of class and glamour for a small amount of money: we like that.
The Essence line is equally sexy, but has one very very great feature. This elegant basque with a front panel of paisley style embroidery and subtle horizontal stripes on the sides ($95) is a pleasure to wear, but even more so a pleasure to the eye. In combination with the essence thong ($30) you’ll look fabulous, believe me!
More Charnos can be found on their website, figleaves, Contessa and undercoverexperience.
Allumette Lingerie: French Softness
Allumette is a french lingerie brand that, even though it’s official webpage is only in French, is selling more and more in the rest of the world. Because this brand is part of the Simone Pérèle group, it enjoys their distribution channels, which makes the brand available from boutiques all over the world and loads of online shops. That’s good news, considering the softness and delicasy in so many of their pieces… Fans of intimate lingerie in high-profile fabrics such as satin will love Allumette!
The Sevres collection is without doubt my favorite (even though their Venus line is extremely sexy too ;-)). I tested the Sevres three quarter cup underwired bra earlier this week and It (and I) looked very cute if I may say so myself. The high quality finishing is what you can expect from any decent brand, and the fabrics were obviously chosen to be as soft as possible. The matching thong wasn’t to my liking: the frilled sides mean you have to be quite skinny to make this thong work… I suggest going for the Allumette Sevres brief if you’re not a size 6 ;-).
The pictures speak for themselves. The Sevres line by Allumette is a fragile and feminine lingerie collection, that’s very fair in price. The bra is available at figleaves for $51, the brief is priced at $30.
